A maker of as good «wraps for women as are made in this country fearing that the unusually warm weather would interfere dis- astrously with his immense surplus stock made iis‘a proposition by which we relieved him of nearly half of it at a price which will give the people of Washington the greatest wrap opportunity ever offered. The entire shipment, which consists of 306 garments, is in and ready for selling. They are the chgicest and most fashionable ereations.of the season, and getting posses- ion of them at such a low price is a big piece of enterprise for “the dependable store,” for it will be a great card for the next few days.

Magnus L. Robinson unanimously eiected president of a league which was formed, and R. J. Perey w: elected secretary. Robinson will be pusked for the position of collector of the port The meeting opened with the reading of lengthy resolutions, in which it is dem: ed that the colored republicans of Alc dria and the eighth congressional district be recognized by the white wing of ihe party. The resoluticns, in substance, vro- vide for the organization of the colored re- publican league of the eighth district, ani demanding equitable represent all precinct, ward, city, county and district committees and conventions. They also in- clude the indorsement of McKinley's ad- ration, of Park Agnew, chairman of the state committee, and the indorsement of their leader, Magnus L. Robinson, for the position of collecter of the port. After indorsing McCaull for governor the meeci- ing adjourned. ted for Dismissal. There is going to be a shake-up in the ranks of the Alexandria Light Infantry at its next meeting, as predicted exclusively in The Star several weeks ago.

At the station house they were released until this morning at 9 o'clock, cach depositing $5 col- lateral. When the case was called this morning Davis and Meyhugh were the only to put in an appearance. In his t Langford stated that he had been drink- ing ali day yesterday, and that he had gone into Mr. Davis’ place last night, and while there played cards for the drinks, but, to the best of his knowiedge, had not played for money. When asked’ by the why he had come to the station house and made complaint of the loss, he said he thought at the time that he had lost the money, but that he had afterward found it in another pocket. The case was dismissed. Police Court.

From the Rockbridge County (Va.) News. A little farm weil tilled is generally ac- cepted as the ideal farm for making meney. In Belgium it ts said that there are farms no larger than two acres, upon which the farmers prosper. It is not plain that, with modern machinery, large farms cannot in the ordinary grain crops be han- dled with more economy than small ones. There can hardly be a question, though, that smail farms promote more general presperity in a community, county or state. The more farmers there are the more men are absolutely their Gwn masters, and masters of the acres they till, and the less the number of tenants and employes.-There are more men that have a personal inter- st in the fertility of the ground, and un- der the direct care of its owners it is the mere certain to be made and kept fruitful. Again, the more farmers there are the more farm homes there are in the posses- sion of individual owners.
